I know if I leave as soon as I see the last yellow, I'll bulb by -.04 or so. Therefore, I need to give it a tick before leaving. I try to get in a rythm, but if anything distracts (like issues getting the stall speed right), I'm dead. For instance, 1st TT today was a .021, not bad; 2nd took a little longer to stall up, 1st light was on when I looked up and 2nd came almost immediately, no rythmn, resulting in a -.020 - not good. 1st round of eliminations, I'm the slower car, tried to give it the proper tick, afraid I gave it too much - nope, -.007. Out.
I've tried the usual - lower front tire pressure (minimal effect), lower launch RPM's (goes dead, resulting in .1+ RT's). I don't have a 2-step rev limiter, would be nice but other priorities have prevented thus far.
In desparation, I'm going to try the taller highway tires on the front I usually use on the rear to drive to the track. A racer bud I pit with a lot also suggested softening up the rear suspension. There's a T&T Wednesday night, I hope to try the other tires on the front, and less pressure in the air shocks. Would be nice to lose the air shocks, but it sits pretty low without them.
